Fall Of Earth City Songtext / Lyric

News had drifted on the wind of many minds

That this was to be an occasion of great importance

For it was said by some that Earth City

Had somehow uncovered a single time sleeper from the time before



Although the cryptic writings upon his tomb

Were now faded beyond decipherable reading

It was said, by the disembodied members of the ruling kind

That the entombed was from that time on Earth

Before the city stretched its metal web from pole to pole

Leaving green things only in the wells of immortal minds



Upon the third revolution after its arrival

The tomb that slept without life was removed for inspection

The day was programmed for a clear dome above

With a mild breeze wafting from the central weather post below






Throngs of class three occupants were gathering from various sectors to observe the opening

As per standard procedure, their data input stations were fed appropriate propaganda

So that their reports would coincide with what the rulers had predetermined



And so it was upon that day of opening, his spirit did appear

And confuse once again

It was evident to all that what lay within was not of mortal composure

Thoughts

Emanating from deep within its dimensionless cave

Conveyed this belief to all within the medi-dome.



What is this apparition now amongst our kind?



Quickly

Thereafter, all pressure was released from within the stillness

Earth City, unknowingly at that time, was about to enter a new phase of existence



Violent quaking began to shake the towers of Sector 63

Manifestations of melting spread its wings over the structures

Until once again, ancient soil kissed the sky



And the beginning of the end swept all that was

Into its eternal grasp
